Mr. Heatherbloom unfolded the warm-tinted covering with light sedulous fingers and looked steadily and earnestly at a miniature. But only for a brief interval; by this time Curly et al. had become an incomprehensible tangle of dog and leading strings about Mr. Heatherbloom's legs.
"To her, of course." Bitterly. The vision's eyes were very bright; her plastic, rather mature form bent nearer. He felt a cool hand at the bandage, readjusting it about his head. That, naturally, could not be. She who had betrayed Betty Dalrymple to the prince would not be sedulous about Mr. Heatherbloom's injury. "Foolish boy!" she breathed. Incongruous solicitude! "Who are you?
Heatherbloom's head tilted a little; he surveyed the detail with the look of a connoisseur. She colored, went; but remained in the hall to peer. There were many articles of virtu lying around on tables or in cabinets and the caller's appearance was against him. He would bear watching; he had the impudence Just fancy his sitting there in a chair!
He comes in an hour, after his watch is over, with the bread and water monsieur's frugal fare. And now" those apprehensions, momentarily dulled by wonderment seemed returning to Francois "I will bid monsieur " "Stay! One moment!" Mr. Heatherbloom's accents were feverish, commanding.

He remembered having read at some previous time about a certain canine whose proud mistress and owner was alleged to have refused twenty thousand for him. The perspiration broke out on Mr. Heatherbloom's face. Was Naughty of this category? He looked very "classy," as if there couldn't be another beast quite like him in the world.
A trace of color sprang to Mr. Heatherbloom's face; he realized now what boat he was actually on, and what it all meant to him.
